Maribel,

I will not email you since I do not have any assurance that the address you gave is yours.

Please read my post “DNA testing to prove legitimacy or illegitimacy of children; Supreme Court’s New Rule on DNA Evidence” (look for the link in the sidebar). St. Luke’s Hospital in Quezon City, if I am not mistaken, charges around 30 thousand pesos for the DNA test. You will have to inquire there if they allow a solo parent discount.

I can see that the Newborn Screening Act wasn't made into an Act until 2004... My daughter was born March 2003 and the hospital told us that we should have my baby undergo the NBS. They told us it was mandatory. We paid I think 800.00Php for it. But we never got the result. A year after my daughter was born I went back to the hosp but they told me that their machine broke so the results are not available yet.We live far from that hospital and I was also very busy with my daughter so I wasn't able to come back until I lost the receipt. I really felt ripped off from that incident.
